Subject: more funky things to do with sam's pipe

this is a little, really unsophisticated mail reader
that i cooked up using rc/sam/9menu. i had 
to do a few ugly things because 9menu doesn't
look at $SHELL. (like create a directory
$h/m with dummy files 0 D d h n p q rest s w)

but what it does is use se's to split 
$MAIL into records. you can delete forward
or delete backward. (FIFO or LIFO).

in retrospect, i should have hacked 9term.

also, running in unix, the sam pipe is a pain
to use. it would be nice if
1] writes to sampipe would block until the command
   actually finished.
2] writes to sampipe would fail if the command
   didn't succede. this would allow one to deal
   correctly with the first and last message in 
   the file.

i just don't know how to do either of those 
with unix.
